What is Dell Venue 11 7130 "Vpro"?
I kept seeing people write "Dell Venue 11 Pro 7130 VPro" or mentioning "vPro". Even the bios have 2 A13 versions:
Dell Venue 11 Pro 7130 System BIOS
Dell Venue 11 Pro 7130 vPro System BIOS
But I'm not able to find any info on "vPro" version in Dell product guide.
My tablet showed Dell Venue 11 Pro 7130 (running on Win 8.1 pro)
What is this "vPro" compare to the "Pro"? Which Bios should I used?
Quick and easy way to find out what one you have vPro is to look at the back of the tablet for the vPro sticker. If it isn't there, download the vPro bios, when you go to install, it will tell you what version you have.
We have vPro DV11's but without the sticker so didn't realize they were until i went to install the bios updates.
The sticker on the back is a Windows Pro sticker not an Intel vPro sticker. The vPro family appear to be limited to 4th Gen Intel® Core™ i5 Processors. Only 28 of the 55 i5 Processor models are vPro.
My i5 4300Y is a vPro.SafetyDell

Stickers at the back says Intel i5 Core and Windows pro 8.
I ran Dell command update and it detected Venue 11 Pro 7130 MS. Intel i5-4210Y. So I guess mine is not a vPro version.
Such a confusing tablet.

True, the i5 4210Y is not a vPro.
Intel® vPro™ Technology is a set of security and manageability capabilities built into the processor aimed at addressing four critical areas of IT security: 1) Threat management, including protection from rootkits, viruses, and malware 2) Identity and web site access point protection 3) Confidential personal and business data protection 4) Remote and local monitoring, remediation, and repair of PCs and workstations.
